Religious sightings, from the Virgin Mary on a grilled cheese sandwich to Jesus on a sonogram. Mother Mary come to me. Let it be. Let it be.

Jesus Plastered!

Jeffrey Rigo of Pittsburgh, PA stepped out the shower Saturday evening to find an image of Jesus Christ in the water-stained plaster on the bathroom wall. He did what any sane person would do — he cut out the section of plaster, found the water leak, made a box, filled it with plaster, placed the "Shower Jesus" inside the box to dry, and posted it for sale on eBay.

Postscript: The plaster Jesus was bought by goldenpalacecasino.com for $1,999.99. They're planning to add it to a traveling museum that will appear in cities nationwide.

Corpus Crispi

Rosalie Lawson of St. Petersburg, FL was happy when she came across a buy-one, get-one-free deal on Lay's sour cream and onion potato chips a couple of weeks ago, but even happier when she stopped putting one of the chips in her mouth because she saw the image of Jesus Christ on it. "I don't know if we're going to try and sell it or what yet," she says. Meanwhile, the St. Petersburg Times is holding an online poll about the chip. At the moment, 15% of the voters think the chip looks like Jesus, 34% think it looks like Red Sox centerfielder Johnny Damon, and 51% think it looks like the late Jerry Garcia.

Two Detroit women were painting their house in preparation of moving when they noticed that the red paint wouldn't cover two areas of primer on a kitchen wall. When the areas dried they noticed that they looked like faces. They managed to paint over one, which they say looked like a pharaoh. The other refused to be painted over and they realized it looks like Jesus. The real mystery is why they were painting their kitchen red.
